Radioactive wasp nest discovered at old US nuclear weapons site

Federal officials said that a radiator nest with radiation levels ten times is permitted by the regulations found in a facility that produced the nuclear parts of the United States.

A report by the US Department of Energy said last week: Wasps were not found on the site near Akkin in South Carolina.

Investigators say that pollution is not related to nuclear waste leakage, and that there was no effect on the “environment, or audience.”

Environmental groups criticized the government’s dealings with the situation.

The nest was discovered by workers who routinely search for nuclear radiation at the SAFANA River site near Akkin, on July 3.

The report said that it was found in a nearby publication where millions of gallons of liquid nuclear waste were stored, but there was no leakage of waste tanks.

Investigators are defining the high levels of high levels on the nest to the so -called “ancient radiological pollution at the site” – the remaining radioactive activity that remains from the time when the site was producing particles of nuclear bombs during the Cold War.

The site was opened in the fifties of the last century, when it created plutonium for use in the heart of nuclear bombs. It continues to work today, but with a focus on the nuclear materials of the power plants.

The Ministry of Energy report indicates that the wasps that lived inside the nest will have a much lower radioactive levels than the nest.

It also indicates that WASPS is generally flying a few hundred feet from its nest, and that the nest was found in the middle of the Savana River, which is 310 square miles-which means that there is a little chance to solve it outside the facility.

“There is no pollution in the area,” the report notes. “There were no effects on workers, environment, or audience,”

Savana River Watch, a monitoring group that monitors the site, said many questions are still unanswered.

“I am crazy like the wasp who did not explain SRS from where the radioactive waste came or if there is a kind of leakage of waste tanks that the audience should be aware of,” Tom Clemens spokesman told Associated Press.

The site has created more than 165 million gallons (625 million liters) of liquid nuclear waste, according to the completion of the Savana River mission.

There are still 43 underground tanks in use, while eight have been closed.
